MLK Celebration 2024

The MLK celebration took place on Saturday, Jan 27, after being postponed on Jan 15 because of weather conditions. The weather was still cloudy but Mrs. Ethel Howell’s smile provided the sunshine that brightened the day. Supt. Roland Lynch opened the ceremony with a powerful prayer. Mrs. Christina Todd was the Mistress of Ceremony for the celebration which included good gospel singing by the Todd Family, The Jewel Tones and the Chosen Voices. Pastor James King delivered an awesome message urging those who were not saved to come to Christ, in light of all the many deaths we’ve had in our community.

This year’s theme for the MLK celebration was “Education Past, Present, and Future” and consistent with our theme, educators from our community were acknowledged and were given certificates for their hard work, enduring patience, and sincere dedication to the proposition of stomping out ignorance and educating young minds.

Mom Folded Dish Towels Today

Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.--Ecclesiastes 5:1820, NLT Almost every person feels better when they are accomplishing things. This is true for elderly disabled people as well, like my dear, widowed, very crippled, 81-year-old mother.

I washed today, and was inspired to ask if she wanted to fold the towels. She did, and was excited to do so. With her hands so crippled and twisted from rhematoid arthritis, I was surprised that she could do it so quickly, but so glad I'd asked her.

Sixteenth Annual “Shop With A Cop” Deemed Success

Sixteenth Annual “Shop With A Cop” Deemed Success

The sixteenth annual “Shop with a Cop” was considered a total success on Saturday. Even the weather cooperated, and the rain held off until well after the festivities. It felt as if the entire community became participants as the number of children given a better outlook on Christmas surpassed the goal and provided Christmas for 120 kids.

The name of the program should be changed, as the kids were assisted in their shopping by an entire community that in addition to police officers, included firemen, the mayor, council persons, police jury members, secretaries, jailers, 911 dispatchers, city hall employees, and Walmart associates. A special visitor included the Grinch himself who made an appearance to welcome the kids to the local Walmart store after they had paraded through town riding fire trucks, police cars and special service vehicles.
